Chapter 4: The Heart of Nature

Malfurion glanced at Lanhir and said nothing, turning to Lucian, Natasha, and Atlante, "I'm sorry for this, Ferragond put his preferences above the survival of the entire elven race, and I don't agree with him, humans are undoubtedly part of nature." ”

He didn't angrily reprimand the natural haters, nor did he mention the matter, but expressed his opinions and apologies in a measured manner, so that Lucien and the others understood that Ferragand did not represent all elves, on the contrary, he was a minority, otherwise there would be no such thing as asking for help from the Magic Council.

"With one less hateful elf to mess around, I think our investigation will go more smoothly. Lucien accepted Malfurion's apology and replied with a graceful smile.

"Vengeance Hunter" Lanhill has a pair of silver-white deep eyes, which are not alarmed, and his voice is like singing: "Thank you for not minding Ferragonde's faux pas, I will take you to see Her Majesty the Empress." ”

He did not say anything about deliberately provoking a dispute between the "haters of nature" and the "balance of nature" represented by Malfurion.

Under his leadership, the three of Lucien crossed the sapphire lake and flew towards the elven tree that branched out to form a forest, and in mid-air, the dense trunk twisted to form a treehouse that was delicate like a work of art.

On top of the treehouse, there are small yellow and white flowers, exuding a refreshing fragrance.

"There's a sense of clarity here, and I feel like my creative inspiration is constantly flowing...... "Natasha praising the beauty of nature. "When the night comes, the silver moon shines on the Elven Lake, sparkling with layers of light, which will be the most suitable for your real scene of "Moonlight". ”

Lucien smiled and nodded: "Being in such an environment, the whole heart is calm, if you like it, we can settle here." ”

Natasha laughed dryly: "If I stay for two or three weeks, my musician's soul will gradually disappear, and the knightly and vulgar side will emerge." It's nice here though. But staying for a long time doesn't suit my character. ”

More than enough is too much...... Lucien himself was joking, and Alinge, full of arcane discussions and disputes, was more suitable for him than a "natural dwelling".

"While we've tried our best to keep the news of the upheaval in Stroop Forest, the Koutao Fish people in the sea seem to be aware of something. Disputes were provoked one after another. So Intis went to the endless ocean. Help Gard defend while Selinda and Lodell guard the abyssal gap on the other side of the forest. ”

"Therefore, only Her Majesty the Empress and the three of us are left here. ”

Gard is the legendary druid "Blue Favor" of the Sea Elves. Due to the long life, there is also a second-order level under the accumulation, and Intis is the legendary "Moonfall Wind" of the Moon Elf, and Lanhil relies on his own talent to advance, because he is not very old, he has just been promoted for less than a hundred years, and he is still a legendary first-order.

Selendee and Lodell are the other two members of the Druid Presbyterian Church, the former being the dryad, the "Green Guardian", the second rank of legends, and the latter being a human, the "Hand of Balance", the first order of the legend.

"Great Elder, it's okay, after checking the 'Elven Tree' and the Fallen Demon Elves, we will go to the Abyss Gap as soon as possible and consult with Selinda and Lodell about the situation. As soon as Lucien stepped on the trunk of the tree in front of the treehouse, he felt a deep and heavy pulse of life coming from the soles of his feet.

Natasha moved her right foot, as if to sense the condition of the Elven Tree carefully, and Atlante opened her eyes, the vague light in her pupils flickering and changing, and looked around thoughtfully.

Led by Ranhill the Revenge Hunter, Lucian, Natasha, and Atlante made their way through treehouses and into the Elven Tree through a naturally formed crevice.

The surrounding color gradually changed from brown green to dark green, and when it reached the deepest point, there was a little milky white and holy light in the light green, as if it contained the purest and most fundamental life force.

These green points of light surround a heart-like emerald green thing, together creating a vigorous and energetic situation, this "heart" seems to be absent, the light is uncertain, as if it cannot be touched, it cannot be approached, and above it extends a vessel-like green pipe, communicating with the surrounding tree trunks, translucent light green liquid and light continue to flow out and flow down the pipe, if you look closely, there will be a little black trace mixed in it.

"Nature's Heart......" Lucien and Natasha spoke at the same time in the Mind Connection.

This is the most fundamental thing of the elves, it is the core of the "elven tree", as long as there is a "heart of nature", after they move to other places, they can re-grow the "elven tree" and form a maze, initially there are a total of five "natural hearts", but as time passes, two have become the main material of the legendary pinnacle item, two are missing, only this Stroop forest still maintains the glory of the elves.

Moreover, this is also the most powerful "Heart of Nature", after semi-fusing with it, the Elven Empress Aglaia broke through the limit and became the peak of the legend, which is also the reason why the elves have always maintained a legendary peak - of course, it must be a semi-fusion of a strong person of the third order of the legend to be promoted to the peak.

Inside the "Heart of Nature", there was a vague blonde figure, she was trying to get rid of those black spots, but I don't know why, with her legendary peak strength, it was also progressing slowly to the extreme.

"Thank you to the two deputies to the parliament for coming to their aid. The appearance of the blonde figure gradually became clear, pure and beautiful with maturity and majesty, and the appearance was difficult to describe, looking like Ellersteen's sister, not her mother.

"It's really tasteful......" It wasn't Lucien who sighed like a "gentleman", but Natasha, but she quickly came to her senses and smiled at Lucien in the heart connection, "Don't worry, I just appreciate it." ”

Malfurion introduced the three Lucians to Aglaia, and she nodded slightly: "Please also ask the two of you to investigate as soon as possible, no matter what the outcome of the matter is, the elves will send their gratitude." ”

She didn't make it too clear, as if she wanted to wait until it was over before deciding what the gratitude was.

Lucien came this time. The main purpose is to maintain allies, and the private purpose is to exchange, and they will not take the things of the elves for nothing, so they did not take this opportunity to threaten, but said to Aglaia, who was wearing a long skirt of tender green leaves: "Your Majesty, then we will start checking." ”

"Okay, I can keep the Spirit Tree from being polluted and clear it slowly, but I'm worried that as the gap expands, the Abyss Will will come directly, so it will be troublesome. Aglaia expressed her thoughts. She was most worried about the condition of the abyssal rift.

Lucien walked around the Heart of Nature. A bitter and mysterious voice came from his mouth: "Mirror of Destiny".

The surroundings darkened abruptly, and then in the gloom, countless points of light appeared like fireflies, condensed in front of Lucian, forming a mirror full of deep mystical patterns.

When Maskeling and MacLeod refined the "Mirror of Destiny", it was based on this legendary magic.

The mirror is hazy. Can fly in with the crystal ball in Lucian's left hand. Suddenly, it looked like a boulder falling into the middle of the lake. Layers of ripples ripple out, showing black spots inside, and getting bigger and bigger.

But at this moment. The black spots wriggled and were hideous, seemingly containing all the chaos and killing in the worldly realm, with a strong hatred and desire to destroy everything.

With a snap, the condensed mirror made a crisp sound like a real mirror shattering, and turned into a fluttering firefly again.

Lucien frowned slightly, as if he had grasped something, so he continued to perform other magic checks, and Atlante also used his own magic to discriminate.

After a while, Lucien stopped and said to Natasha, "Give the black blob a sword, don't cut the life path of the 'Heart of Nature'." ”

What he didn't say was that this was an exercise of your fine control, otherwise Aglaia and Malfurion's faces would definitely not look good.

Natasha, on the other hand, could comprehend Lucian's meaning, and immediately narrowed her eyes, like a cheetah ready to attack, and then drew the sword of truth, and her whole body merged into the sword light.

She had seen Lucien holding the "Moonwatch" in his right hand, and knew that if he had the slightest problem, he would use the "Advanced Time Stop" to stop it, so as not to hurt the "Heart of Nature".

With a flash of sword light, Natasha's figure reappeared, and a black spot sticking to the green pipe suddenly split into two halves, twisting under the hideous gap, and it took dozens of seconds to slowly dissolve.

Lucien quietly gave Natasha a thumbs up, and then said solemnly: "The essence of the force is close to that of a god-like, so the magic such as the 'Mirror of Destiny' can only be vaguely hinted, and it is initially suspected that it is the breath of the will of the abyss, but this is not certain, there are other ways to cause it, and the typical one is to use the power of the 'Heart of Nature' itself." ”

"Yes, there is another possibility!" Before Atlante, Aglaia, Malfurion, and Lanhill could speak, a clear voice with anger came from behind them.

The spiritual force field spread, and Lucien saw a male elf with dark green hair walking in behind him, he was young in appearance, but the patterns on his neck and hands were numerous and beautiful, holding a cane like a natural tree branch in his hand, glaring at Lucian and the others, "This is nature's punishment!"

He said in a loud voice: "You humans have opened one alchemy workshop after another, polluting the blue sky and water sources, harming nature, and your greed has also been unrestrained, destroying forests and killing animals, so I perceive that nature has become hateful, and this hatred is reflected in the 'heart of nature', so there are signs of depravity and pollution!"

"It's all your fault!"

"Ferragand, shut up. Malfurion's old voice was low.

This elf is none other than the Great Druid, the "Avenger of Nature", the Wood Elf Ferragond.

Lucien believes that most of the alchemy workshops are no problem with pollution, although it is instinctive to make profits, and no workshop owner wants to add an additional environmental protection fee, but after he became a Grand Arcanist, the Affairs Committee has a very strict supervision in this regard, and the magicians also know their tough attitude, and they are unwilling to offend a Grand Arcanist in this matter, otherwise the mandatory task will be arranged casually, which will be a certain death.

They may not be willing to comply with the law, but they are not disgusted by the "elemental order" usage fee, which seems to be in the nature of a "protection fee", and after the fee is collected, they are all rewarded in the form of tax refunds, so almost no one asks for trouble.

In response to such a situation, Lucien can only sigh that it is better to be domineering than to be kingly.

The only problem is the small workshops built by some nobles themselves, among them, in the Kingdom of Holm, Natasha presses the cabinet and is in good condition, and the other three countries exist more or less.

However, now is not the time to argue with Ferragander about this issue, Lucien turned his head directly to look at Aglaia: "Your Majesty, is this welcoming to us?"

Aglaia was silent for a moment, and said sternly: "Feragand, you are out of the city!"

"Your Majesty the Empress...... Feragander wanted to say something, but found that the circulation of the "Heart of Nature" was speeding up, and the pressure of the legendary peak was spreading, so he snorted coldly and turned his head to leave.

In the telepathic connection, Natasha said with a slight doubt: "If he is not having trouble controlling his hatred, then his actions just now seem to be deliberately trying to anger us, or is it to destroy the relationship between the council and the elves?"

After working hard to come to the rescue, but facing this kind of treatment, normal people will not be able to stand it and choose to leave angrily.

Lucien said calmly: "I know what to do, so I didn't argue with him, and directly left the problem to the empress to deal with, depending on their attitude." ”

"Very mature and sensible, without losing grace ......," Atlante said in a teleportation technique. (To be continued......)
